FAQ

What is Project Broadtail?

Project Broadtail is a community science (also called citizen science) project that helps us better understand how to protect the Broad-tailed Hummingbird, a bird of conservation concern in the state of Utah. Participants have the choice to go on a hike with Tracy Aviary to search for Broad-tailed Hummingbirds or to document Broad-tailed Hummingbirds that they see around their home and in recreational areas. Community observations provide important information about Broadtail distribution patterns, habitat associations, and migration timing.
